No more algorithms! Quicksort? Banned. Sieve of Eratosthenes? Banned. Djikstra’s? Super banned!

If you even mention a red black tree, you’re the one that’s gonna be red and black, son.

Oh shit the third Semiosis came out? Loved the first couple, how did I miss that?

I work close to firmware and this is how we all say it, and we say it often. When speaking to execs it’s always said by pronouncing each letter. You can watch us code shift (lingually) in meetings depending on who is asking the question.

Yeah, I agree, I’m just a little triggered. The issue I have is less that it wouldn’t make sense and more that the entirety of the Discovery era shows are laced with cameos and the novelty isn’t there like it was for those TNG cameos.

… Really I just have ENT PTSD.

What they should do is have the entire series be a holodeck program Riker is running during the events of a TNG episode. That’ll definitely be a satisfying finale, right?

This sucks, caught her work in LA and DC and her walk in exhibits are phenomenal.

I’m not sure I agree this is an awful location if you’re going to make a big studio campus. It’s not in Austin atm but it will be eventually (it’s currently surrounded) and 290/183 are useful veins. You say “outside Manor” like it’s also not ~10 miles from the capitol and downtown. In LA terms that’s basically nothing.

That said, as an eastsider, yeah fuck the billionaires generally and the Ellisons specifically.

Haha, me too. I watch a streamer, Vulrhund, fight ten thousand zombies and end up in a powered bachelor pad that he built, plastered, painted and furnished over the course of an in game year…

Meanwhile I have like 500 hours and my last death was eating lethal mushrooms I foraged on day three. My best run ever was maybe 2.5 months. I’m not sure I’ve ever actually lived long enough to harvest any crops I planted.

If you’ve read all the OG Dune content, I say go for it. They aren’t at the same level, but they’re… Fine. Get it from the library or wherever and try it. Go in with low expectations and possibly get pleasantly surprised, or never pick them up again.

Turns out I liked the game only because of what I thought the game could be instead of what it actually was.

I never played Star Citizen, but this is kinda where I ended up with No Man’s Sky. I played it at launch and again earlier this year and there’s definitely some fun to be had but nothing fits together right, or feels fully realized. NMS lost a coherent vision of the game at some point and eventually it just made me itch to play better games that were more focused.

Totally. I had a few runs on it while it was in the unstable branch and the new mechanics are great, but firing it up after the stable release and seeing all the love put into older map locales really made it feel like a brand new game.

3 all day, every day. I can no longer sit normally, I can only lounge.

It’s basically the best virtualization platform. It can do full system emulation across a number of platforms, or hardware assisted virtualization (using KVM). It’s incredibly useful for debug as well as doing real work.

Uh, what? The Ayn Rand garbage philosophy? I’ve never heard that and don’t see how that jibes with a free, crowd sourced encyclopedia…

I’ve never seen a repo so reticent to tell you what it is.

My guess is it’s the journal software running the .org but everything also seems to be down half the time.

I like this comic but Beetle Moses needs to actually look at a tortoise, haha.

Their arms and legs don’t pop out of holes in their shells, their shells are more like wraps around their torsos (it’s a strapless dress, not a onesie). Also those scutes (panels of the shell) are fucked.

… Why yes, I’m fun at parties, why do you ask?

I’m not quite sure what the advantage of doing it that way is

If I had to guess, it just kept the programmers from being super lazy about it. If the individual enemy AI doesn’t have exact coordinates of the player, it actually has to move around, search a space, potentially manipulate the environment, and possibly fail to find the player, versus doing what is effectively an idle animation while waiting for the player to step out of cover.

I’m with you. She’s especially great at physical comedy. Reminds me a lot of Lucille Ball in I Love Lucy. Not to mention, she’s a complete 90s fashion icon.

Her later work as president of the Screen Actor’s Guild showing solidarity and striking with the writers made me a fan before I ever watched the show.

American people have plenty of empathy and compassion, what they don’t have is literally anyone else to call.

If you have an emergency, you call 911 and as soon as they hear the word “gun” cops are the only outcome. Maybe in some universe a person has some foresight in case of a suicidal person with a gun and can look up local resources or something, but until we have something built into emergency services for this, panicked people are going to do the one thing they can think of when someone needs help.

Complete non-story. The Deck has been out for years for this verification to mature and it’s usually less about specs (in the age of FSR/DLSS etc.) and more about “can this game be played with this control scheme comfortably” which is not an issue for the Steam Machine since it’s just a PC.
